out and about (in Savannah) // The Coffee Fox

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

Matt and I have a new must-visit stop in Savannah. It’s called The Coffee Fox….we are a bit obsessed. Earlier this month when we were in Savannah to shoot a wedding, we went twice. This past visit (last weekend) we knew that it was a visit we had to make! The coffee fox offers a hip, laid back atmosphere, and delicious (delicious!) coffee. They also have yummy pastry and cheese board varieties! I usually get a drip coffee with cinnamon, and Matt a Horchata latte, we love it! Oh, and the fact that it’s located just a street corner away from The Paris Market sure doesn’t hurt either! ;)

It’s not a trip to Savannah without a visit to The Coffee Fox!

I leave you on this Tuesday with two thoughts:

- I sure do have a lot of photos of me sipping coffee here and there….true to life I guess.haha

- I’m playing around with the idea of creating a “guide to Savannah” button on the sidebar. That way, if anyone wants to plan a trip to Savannah , and wants to know all of our favorite stops, it’s all in one place! An actual guide to our favorites, as well as links to out-and-about posts….whatcha think?

We left our hearts in Savannah

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

I really do feel like we leave a little piece of ourselves behind every time we depart from Savannah. Don’t get me wrong, we LOVE living in Lakeland, more than I ever thought we would actually. But there is something lovely about Savannah that stole our hearts our very first trip….I wish we could be here once a month but I guess I have to savor the time that we do have there. It was waaay more cold (and also rainy) than we were anticipating so taking the camera along wasn’t always the best option.

So, I give you…..a whole giant miss-mash of random photos from our time in Savannah!

 We had to take another trip to Back in the Day Bakery of course! I’m glad to enjoy from scratch banana pudding and glass bottle cokes with my love in an adorable retro bakery any day!

…lots and LOTS of time was spent wandering around the city people watching and architecture scoping

Sometimes when you walk the ENTIRE city, you find stinkin’ awesome burger places that are sure to become staples…like Betty Bombers in the VA building. Delicious!

Hello gravy fries!

In Savannah…you can even have fun in the parking garages.  ;)

This place had the most amazing bottomless salsa (which has sparked a MAJOR salsa kick in the Kent home by the way) , delicious tacos and quesadillas, and local craft beer! Seriously. Taco Basement,on Broughton Street…if you are ever in Savannah !

only in Savannah….

Only in Savannah do you turn the corner to find a hipster dude perched on the side of a building with  his pup, playing an accordion. He was really talented actually….and then he started singing! Amazing voice, crazy accordion skills ….thanks dude, you’re neat!

If you like walking, people watching, and most importantly eating …come see Savannah!

Who knows, maybe we will bump into each other!  :)

Disney days….

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

This post is titled “Disney Days” but it’s actually a recap of our time at Disney and in Savannah recently. I fibbed. I don’t think you will mind.   ;)

Every road trip we take to Savannah requires good tunes. But since our road trip was a seg-way into our vacation, I thought we would get some new ones! You might have read last week that I have been listening to lots of new music, so it was pretty easy to figure out what my choice was! Of Monsters and Men please! (and thank you Matt!)

Awesome new music filled our car while I crocheted my way to Savannah!

(who wouldn’t want to spend four hours driving around with this hot man?)   ;)

We hit up some favorite spots and also tried some new ones! Leopold’s is a staple for us! Delicious, open very late (for all the SCAD students) and has a lovely nostalgic atmosphere! We grabbed some dinner at Isaac’s and sat on the roof to enjoy the breeze! AMAZING food at Isaac’s! If you are EVER in Savannah….Isaac’s is a stop you should make for dinner!

Another new place we tried while in Savannah was J. Christopher’s , named the best brunch in the city by Savannah magazine!

I was not.disapointed. Bacon and incredible maple toast! I have been craving it ever since!

(seriously, I would LOVE some right NOW)

We didn’t do a lot of shopping around, but we did do a lot of eating. haha

We can’t help it , Savannah is bursting with amazing food options! We had to hit up Back in the Day Bakery again! We love the atmosphere, and the food (and sweets!) are awesome !

I was so full from my delicious lunch that I had to get my lavender cookies to go! ( and they boxed it up so cute! )

We also had entertainment while we dined at Back in the Day Bakery! There was a shoot going on for Local Palette magazine going on. How perfect! We really enjoyed observing, it’s pretty interesting to see how other creative people work.

Back at home!

We were home just long enough to re-pack our bags and head to Orlando for some Disney fun!  But Matt loves me so much that he took me to (another!) showing of Ruby Sparks at the local theatre! What an awesome way to “officially” kick off our vacation!

….if you still haven’t seen Ruby Sparks, you need to….seriously.  :)

First up in Orlando…Hollywood Studios! Toy Story Midway Mania, Rock N’ Roller Coaster….all of our favorites!

Epcot! The best place in all of Disney to get dinner! We chose the dine-in restaurant in China!

….and the best of all. Magic Kingdom!

We usually opt for the ferry over the monorail when it’s warm…it adds to the magic!

Dole Whips. Delicious pineapple/vanilla swirled soft serve, it’s like a creamsicle, but with pineapple! yum.

When your legs get tired, get on the people mover! It’s a sit down ride that takes you on a ten minute ride around tomorrowland!

Goodbye vacation days….you were fun!

out and about (in Savannah) : The Soho South Cafe

Friday, September 7th, 2012

We were in Savannah last weekend. Whenever we go to Savannah, we try not to go to any restaurant chains because there are a crazy amount of amazing and delicious restaurants in Historic Savannah. The Soho South Cafe has become one of our favorite places for breakfast and lunch! They have delicious stuffed waffles and french toast, a dozen different preparations of eggs, and also a ton of different yummy salads and sandwiches too! So sorry I didn’t get any photos of the food, it was too good, and thus gone way too fast! lol

I’m not really the kind of blogger that can set aside her hunger for the sake of documentation.my bad.

But for the sake of making your mouths water…I got a ham, brie, and granny smith apple panini. Matt got a grilled salmon BLT.

not gonna lie. I was a little jealous. next time!

Now to The Soho South Cafe!

this lovely lady may or may not have join us for lunch ;)

There was a dachshund out front and of course I couldn’t help myself! …His name is Toby.

If you ever find yourself in Savannah GA…make a stop at the Soho South Cafe!

The atmosphere would be enough reason to go, but the food selection and quality are stellar!

It’s so near to that time of year for Matt and I ! That time when we get to be in Savannah Georgia once a month! It makes for a very lovely fall indeed….the chill in the air, the lovely air of the city. It’s good.real good.  I feel like Savannah has become my second city, my home away from home. It’s a creative city, a friendly city, a warm city…with plenty to see (and eat!). I cannot wait to go back!

Doing this much thinking about it being nearly that time to travel to my favorite city, had got me looking through the Lovely Lemon archives. A tour of The Paris Market, a honey tasting trip to Savannah Bee Company, good eats and a retro good time at Back in the Day Bakery….I can’t what to get back on the road!

P.S.

how lovely are the prints above? I almost lost it when I saw the Savannah one! Check out these lovely print shops for more pretties!
